Chick pushed out of nest, finds his way back

The video below is quite funny. The parents bring in a huge bug, which they are tearing apart to feed it to the chicks. One chick emerges behind the mother between her tail and wing and almost starts crawling over her back. Then it is accidentally pushed out of the nest by the mother, but it manages to crawl back into the nest.

The chick is still blind at this age, so I think he is guided back into the nest by the warmth of the mother and the nest.
